Which of the following is the correct altitude range for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites?
easy Q1 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand satellite orbit classifications
Satellites are classified by their altitude: LEO, MEO, GEO, etc.Step 2: Recall altitude ranges
Low Earth Orbit satellites orbit between approximately 200 km and 2,000 km above Earth’s surface.Final Answer:
200 to 2,000 km → Option AQuick Check:
LEO altitude range = 200 to 2,000 km ✅
Quick Trick: LEO satellites are close to Earth, typically under 2,000 km altitude.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing GEO altitude (35,786 km) with LEO altitude.
